Does anyone use the Octopus BH-100? I had a couple questions regarding it. I just got mine today and it's set up and running. First is, the first two columns, mainly the first one, are filled with microbubbles. They get less and less as they reach the fourth chamber but I still have larger bubbles coming out of the outlet pipe. Not microbubbles but alrger ones. Will this clear up as it breaks is?
Second is about the large white "o-ring" that comes wrapped around the collection cup. Is the ring just supposed to stay around the cup? I can't see how this will prevent water from coming out from inside the skimmer but it is there. Also, does anyone use the blue sponge and if so, where do you use it at?
Is there any way to adjust the flow or is it just automatic? My other skimmer, you have a knob to turn to adjust how much water you want running through it.
I've already got about a half a cup of yellow stuff so glad to see it's working.
